Question

I have the following Macro I want to call from within an AutoHotkey script in order to set certain dates in my MonthCal object to be bold.

How would I go about that?

Note that it’s possible the easiest way to do it is to write a simple VB script which uses the macro and call that. But I am entirely clueless about VB scripts. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

I found the following script on the AutoHotkey forums via their great IRC channel (thanks _rhys and Titan)

monthNb := 3   ; How many months are displayed. Can be fetched with MCM_GETMONTHRANGE MCM_FIRST := 0x1000 MCM_SETDAYSTATE := MCM_FIRST + 8  ; MCS_DAYSTATE = 1 Gui, Add, MonthCal, +0x1 vMyCalendar Gui, Add, Button, gBoldify w100, B Gui Show  Gui +LastFound guiID := WinExist() ControlGet mcID, Hwnd, , SysMonthCal321, ahk_id %guiID%  Gosub SetDayState Return  Boldify: VarSetCapacity(daysBuffer, 4 * monthNb, 0) if bOdd {    days = 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23,25,27,29,31 } else {    days = 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30 } bOdd := not bOdd addr := &daysBuffer + 4 Loop Parse, days, `, {    o1 := (A_LoopField - 1) / 8    o2 := Mod(A_LoopField - 1, 8)    val := *(addr + o1) | (1 << o2)    DllCall('RtlFillMemory', 'UInt', addr + o1, 'UInt', 1, 'UChar', val) } Gosub SetDayState Return  SetDayState:    SendMessage MCM_SETDAYSTATE, monthNb, &daysBuffer, , ahk_id %mcID% Return  GuiClose: GuiEscape: ExitApp
